Abstract
This study examined the structural properties of two organizational
commitment measures. the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire
(OCQ; Mowday. Porter. & Steers.
1982) and Organizational
Commitment Scales (OCS; Meyer & Allen, 1991) that included
Affective Cornmitment Scale (ACS), Normative Commitment Scale
(NCS), and Continuance Cornmitment Scale (CCS). The results
provided evidence for the reliability and uni-dimensionality of OCQ
Results of Exploratory as well as Confirmatory Factor Analysis
(c01nparing four competing nmodels) revealed that the OCQ converged
with ACS, diverged from CCS, which was relatively independent of
the ACS and NCS, but had a positive relationship with NCS.
